    Any on else fed up with hype surrounding games. With the leak of Domm 3s e3 demo its hype is going to go through the roof with id telling everyone to expect much much better and tantalising us with more cool screenshots. Me i hate hype. Just hope Deus Ex 2 doesnt fall under the same spell.

    Actually I think Carmack was de hyping Doom 3 - he said something along the lines that it would have great graphics and poor AI/multiplayer.

    I know and i dont think that Deus Ex 2 will disappoint.Few games fo fall into that category like Jon Romeros Daikataina which was tripe.Another for the good was the team tha made Goldeneye for rare which split of and made timesplitters and timplitters 2.

    Because of the amount of money put into game development these dfays - hype is a fact of life. The only solution is not to believe it and sample the game for yourself - either through a demo or through a review from a source that you trust.

    With the price of games getting worse and worse (especially from certain retail outlets) we can't afford to buy games that don't live up to the hype
